Chapter 839: Chapter 828: Zhong Ling and Her Companions’ Transformation

Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, and Li Qinglu were not as reserved as Li Canghai. Instead, they all rushed forward, throwing themselves into Ding Ling’s embrace, each calling out husband with deep emotion.

Holding the three women, Ding Ling offered comfort for a couple of moments. Once their emotions settled, he turned to Li Canghai and said:

‘Senior, we are all on the same side, so there’s no need to be so polite with me. Just call me by my name.’

“This…”

Li Canghai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Ding Ling’s great reputation and high cultivation left her in awe, almost as if beholding a deity or an imposing mountain, inherently inspiring a sense of reverence towards Ding Ling. How could she dare to be disrespectful?

But since Ding Ling said so, and as a member of the Carefree Sect, and knowing Ding Ling well, after thinking for a moment and adjusting her mindset, her attitude towards Ding Ling naturally experienced a subtle shift.

Becoming more familiar, trusting, and cordial!

Ding Ling was still the same Ding Ling!

He hadn’t become dismissive of Li Canghai simply because he became the Immortal Realm Emperor and was invincible in the Upper Realm.

Nor did he forget his wives in the Lower Realm after achieving high cultivation; instead, he made a special return to enhance his wives’ cultivation. How could such a devoted and virtuous man not win Li Canghai’s admiration, trust, and acknowledgment?

…

The group met again.

Naturally, they had endless things to say and emotions to express.

After a day passed.

Ding Ling began imparting the 1.0 version of the Martial Dao True Understanding to Li Canghai, Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Li Qinglu, and the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum.

Their insights and memory varied.

Hence, progress in the Martial Dao True Understanding also differed.

Li Canghai had the highest level of comprehension, stepping into the entry level of Martial Dao True Understanding in just a few days.

She was shocked by the profound and unfathomable mysteries of Martial Dao True Understanding, deeply grateful for Ding Ling’s generosity.

What sort of technique is Martial Dao True Understanding?

She had already memorized its contents, naturally aware, and because she understood, couldn’t help but feel awe, emotion, and excitement.

This counter-heaven technique surpasses the Eternal Youth Technique by countless degrees!

Yet Ding Ling gave it away as a gift.

Moreover, he explained its esoteric truths in detail, allowing her to enter the Martial Dao True Understanding.

If not for Ding Ling’s personal explanation, she couldn’t foresee when she would have entered, let alone figured it out.

Only because Martial Dao True Understanding is indeed too difficult, too complex, unfathomable! Mysterious!

As for the Seven Ladies of Zhong Ling, it was different.

They achieved Innate Realm strength in less than a moment, thanks to Ding Ling utilizing the Empowerment Method!

The progress was so fast!

Even they couldn’t believe it themselves.

The observer Li Canghai was even more taken aback.

And in the following time.

Ding Ling didn’t go to the Dali Eternal Spring Valley.

Instead, he stayed in Chang’an City, cultivating a technique that only couples can cultivate with the Seven Ladies of Zhong Ling.

Ding Ling was adept at this technique.

After all, he had cultivated this technique with Diao Chan and others on the Lower Realm Historical Plane for years.

But it was the initial contact for the Seven Ladies of Zhong Ling, and progress was slow.

Ding Ling was not impatient, as long as one party attained Great Perfection, with the other cooperating well, it would allow rapid advancement in cultivation.

Under such circumstances.

The cultivation of the seven ladies improved day by day, growing stronger each day!

When the Heavenly Mountain Granny and her people from Lingjiu Palace arrived, the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum went to meet her.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny wore a face of disbelief, almost suspecting herself of hallucinating or misperceiving:

“Your, your cultivation?!”

“Reporting to the Venerable Lord.”

During this period, the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum became Ding Ling’s wives, harmoniously playing Qin and Zither with him, their faces blooming with peach-like beauty, as radiant as water.

Upon seeing the expression and demeanor of the Heavenly Mountain Granny, they knew what she wanted to know, and despite some shyness, they reported truthfully:

“It’s our husband who helped us…”

They succinctly described the situation.

But the Heavenly Mountain Granny read them well? Naturally understanding, along with envy, she was extremely shocked, unable to fathom Ding Ling possessed such a counter-heaven method to rapidly assist his wives in advancing!

But thinking further, the Ancient Yellow Emperor had managed three thousand women!

And Ding Ling, in cultivation, reputation, and achievements, surpassed predecessors!

Only seven wives after all.

Naturally, there’s no big problem.

Although.

The Heavenly Mountain Granny still felt inexplicably sour in her heart, somewhat jealous.

Given she endured so much hardship, exerted so much effort to achieve her current cultivation.

But what about the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum?

With Ding Ling’s help, they surpassed her cultivation swiftly.

How could this not make the Heavenly Mountain Granny jealous and envious to the point of ‘spitting blood’?!

If not for the fact that the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum were among her own, the Heavenly Mountain Granny would have fixed her eyes red with rage and interrogated them.

Fortunately, there’s no need for interrogation, the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum confessed voluntarily.

The Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum naturally saw the spirit and expression in the eyes of the Heavenly Mountain Granny.

Amidst jubilation and pride, they couldn’t help but appreciate, admire, and acknowledge Ding Ling even more.

Ding Ling.

Their husband.

Was remarkably good to them!

They must dutifully serve and attend to Ding Ling!

Unconsciously.

From being centered around the Heavenly Mountain Granny, they shifted their focus onto Ding Ling!

“Ahem ahem.”

The Heavenly Mountain Granny acknowledged her mindset was incorrect, her old face flushed slightly, she coughed twice to change the subject, saying:

“You are already Imperial Consorts of Your Majesty. From now on, don’t call the old woman Venerable Lord anymore. The old woman can’t bear it.”

“This… Yes!”

Indeed, the shift in focus.

The Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum hesitated only a moment, then nodded, starting to consider Ding Ling.

As Ding Ling’s wives, if they called the Heavenly Mountain Granny Venerable Lord, how should Ding Ling address the Heavenly Mountain Granny?!

“…”

The Heavenly Mountain Granny was at a loss for words.

She didn’t expect that so quickly, the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, who revered her, were subdued by Ding Ling.

But then thinking that the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum were her own offering and she had come to align herself with Ding Ling, she compassed her inner vexation and told the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum:

“I wish to meet Your Majesty, still need to trouble the four Imperial Consorts for an introduction.

“Of course. Please wait, Grandma Tong.”

After all, they were accustomed to calling her Venerable Lord, transitioning to Grandma Tong felt unfamiliar.

They turned to call Ding Ling.

At this moment, Ding Ling was meeting with Xiaoo Feng and Xiaoo Yuanshan.

They were both extremely excited and joyful to meet Ding Ling again.

Xiaoo Yuanshan immediately knelt, loudly proclaiming long live Your Majesty.

Xiaoo Feng did the same.

But Ding Ling stopped him, smiled, and said:

“Now you are the emperor of the Great Ming Kingdom. As an emperor, do not kneel to me casually.”
